Latest version, in stock for immediate shipment. This indoor night vision IP camera combines the natural daytime colors of the Sharx SCNC2606 with the infrared night vision of the Sharx SCNC2607. It works on 10/100 Ethernet with Cat5 wiring or on 802.11 b/g/n wireless networks secured with WEP, WPA or WPA2 encryption. Multiple viewers can see video or snapshots in any of the supported formats including MPEG4, MJPEG, 3GPP and JPEG. Both HTTP and RTSP streaming protocols are supported for use with browsers or media players on Windows or Mac computers as well as iPhone, Droid, Blackberry or other web enabled cell phones. Multiple streams with 3 separate choices of image quality are available simultaneously. Video can be adjusted from near DVD quality with audio and full motion (2048K, 640 x 480, 30 fps) all the way down to a bandwidth saving mobile stream (20K, 176 x 144, 5 fps). With an optional MicroSD memory card the camera functions as a standalone DVR for motion detection or continuous video. Recording time ranges from 1 hour/GB to almost 100 hours/GB based on selected video quality. The camera can automatically upload recorded video files to an FTP server or standalone network drive with FTP feature. The included desktop stand can be used as wall or ceiling mounting bracket. Power is supplied by the included international standard 100-240V AC adapter. This camera can see up to 30 ft in absolute darkness with its built in infrared LEDs. A wired or wireless router is required for operation. Access from outside the home network requires internet service. Automatic setup for remote viewing requires a recent model router with the UPnP feature. Older routers, networks with multiple routers, or Apple Airport require manual configuration. Step by step instructions included for current version of Airport Extreme or Time Capsule. Includes 30 days unlimited free email tech support and up to 30 minutes of free telephone support during the first 30 days after purchase.

Easy to set up, does what's it's supposed to do.
By Aeon
1st, the setup:It took me less than 30min to get it to work on my local network.About 30 more minutes to set up remotely, with DDNS. Besides, it was the 1st DDNS I ever set up.And I'm just an average computer guy.Conclusion: Easy to set up.Edit:Setting up email server and ftp server was a bit more of a pain, since the format to be used is very strict. It's still doable for average users. But the result is great. The many options give so much control over the camera, such as setting up the number of pictures sent by emails or to the ftp server once motion has been detected. It's also possible to set up a time interval during which one can deactivate the motion detection alarm, to avoid receiving too much emails or pictures.2nd, the camera itself:Produced a very sharp image with just the right luminosity when viewed on my local network.The fps slowed down a bit when viewed on a remote network.The night mode is just great. The infrared LEDs are really bright, which gives an excellent picture in pitch dark.There is also a Moon Light mode, which works best at very low brightness, and improve the picture by increasing the light sensibility, while decrease the FPS. I was told about that feature by the customer service.Conclusion: Does what's it supposed to do, and even better than that.3rd, the customer service:I'm always reluctant to contact CS, but I gave it a shot, and it was so worth it.When I asked questions, the agent always gave me relevant and practical answers, while offering additional tips related to my questions. (Moon Light mode, using an ac power surge to turn off the camera when I was looking for a software-oriented method, and how I could get a IR illuminator pointing at the ceiling to be able to use the night-mode without turning on the red LEDs)Conclusion: highly recommended product!Problem: this is the first ip camera I buy, and I'm afraid I may be disappointed with any model I buy in the future compared to this one.Note:The camera is connected to a pretty slow wifi connection (90kbytes/sc), and remotely accessed from a faster connection (about 500kbytes/sc), which may explain the decrease in fps..

The camera arrived and I had it working on my network within half an hour, despite the fact that I have a 5 year old Lynksys router that required a little more manual work than normal. I'm also a Mac user, and this proved no handicap.My neighbor, who owns a Logitech system, oohs and ahhs about the video quality. I like the fact that I can put it in DVR mode using the microSD chip and not worry about keeping a computer on.On the second day, I set up web streaming. This was slightly confusing at times, but I kept plowing through and with just a little trial and error got it all working within 45 minutes.In the end I never did need Sharx Tech support, so I can't comment on it, but the setup is really not bad at all, imo.Really, the only problem I had was that I originally ordered a 32GB microSD card. I learned later that 16GB is the largest it supports. So I had to wait for the replacement card to arrive to get the built in DVR working.Bottom line is I'm very pleased.

By Rodney H. Diramos
I had purchased an older version of this camera in 2010 from amazon.com. It was easy enough to set up however, accessing it remotely from your iphone or from another computer outside your wifi network can be a challenge. And this is where great after sales service comes in handy because the manufacturer's tech department will email or call you persistently just to make sure that you got everything done.But it doesn't end there. I lost my manual after I moved a few months ago. The warranty has expired as well as the phone support and when I called them for instructions on how to set up the remote access, I admitted that I lost my manual. And they did an amazing thing. The tech support confirmed that indeed my warranty has ended but they will send me, by PRIORITY MAIL AT THEIR EXPENSE A NEW MANUAL. Further, they asked me to coordinate with them to ensure that I am able to set up my remote access correctly.I have never heard of this kind of outstanding service from any other tech company - these guys are passionate about supporting their customers. I'm a corporate trainer and I run service excellence programs and I always start off my workshops with an anecdote about a true example of excellent service - I've always chosen some Malcolm Baldridge awardee but going forward - I will always be talking about Sharx and their cameras.Oh and by the way, the product is excellent. I'm always out of town, and the longest I've been out is 5 months and the camera works without fail - clear, sharp and the alarm system works (it starts taking pictures every second once it detects movement and stores it in the SD card and for good measure - starts emailing you the pictures in case the intruders decide to tamper with the camera).I kept it in my closet for close to a year since I have been travelling yet this morning when I plugged it in, it powered right up and picture was clear as the first day I got it. Brilliant little camera made by brilliant folks.
